"I have experience working with patients using IV Ketamine in the past and am excited that the FDA has now approved Esketamine in a nasal spray. I feel that this is a very exciting alternative for treatment resistant depression and it works very quickly and with our expert staff and individualized protocol we expect fantastic results."
